Polaroid Originals launches ‘Upside Down’ Stranger Things OneStep 2 camera, I-Type film

06 May

In honor of Season 3, Stranger Things has teamed up with Polaroid Originals to release an ‘Upside Down’ Polaroid OneStep 2 and accompanying Stranger Things-branded film.

Officially named the ‘Polaroid Originals OneStep 2: Stranger Things Edition,’ there’s nothing notably unique about the OneStep 2, aside from its unique colorway and upside down branding, a nod to the ‘Upside Down’ realm in the Stranger Things universe.

Polaroid Originals says the camera features a fixed-focus lens, a built-in flash, USB charging and a self-timer. The battery life is rated for up to 60 days and the lens has a focusing range from two feet to infinity. It works with Polaroid Originals i-Type film as well as 600 instant films.

Speaking of films, Polaroid Originals is also selling a special edition film. The color I-Type film comes in packs of 8 and features 16 different designs inspired by various locations throughout Hawkins, the town where Stranger Things takes place.

The Color I-Type Film Stranger Things Edition is sold individually or in packs of three for $ 16.99 and $ 48.00, respectively. The Polaroid Originals OneStep 2: Stranger Things Edition is sold on its own for $ 109.99 or with a three-pack of film as a ‘Starter Set’ for $ 157.99.

Trippy mirrored timelapse turns Hong Kong upside down

19 Jul

Skill, dedication, vision: a good timelapse requires all of these things. A really cool subject helps too. ‘The Allegory of the Cave,’ a new timelapse from Visual Suspect, checks all of those boxes. By mirroring Hong Kong’s vibrant cityscapes, its creators aim to play with themes of ‘perception and knowledge as reflection of our reality.’

Familiar images of skyscrapers in clouds or boats in a harbor become abstract shapes – where does one image stop and its reflection begin? Is anything real?

See? We told you it was trippy.

Vertical Horizon: Urban Photographs Turn City Upside Down

08 May

[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Photography & Video. ]

Hong Kong has to be one of the most-photographed cities on Earth, but these shots present a rarely-seen perspective by documentarians or pedestrians … unless they look straight up.

From Vertical Art Space: “Romain Jacquet-Lagreze is a French graphic artist with a Masters in multimedia and art from East Paris University. His interest in photography began during his period of working in Los Angeles and Tokyo, and subsequently blossomed into a passion after his arrival in Hong Kong.”

His Vertical Horizon series emphasizes the vast scale of tall structures, but also the “heterogeneous character” of the built environment – traditional alongside modern, scrappy versus refined, small set against large.

While some of his images are taken from the top down, or at an angle, many of the most powerful ones are straight-up vertical captures. Somehow, these more predictable approaches lack the striking gravitas of their deceptively-flat cousins.
